This is a video of thrillseekers and GoPro athletes (that's a thing?) Benny Marr and Rush Sturges (with a name like Rush you have to be into extreme sports) speeding down a drainage ditch at Lions Bay in British Columbia, Canada in a tandem kayak. Apparently people ride the ditch regularly, but this was the first time it was done in a tandem kayak. Because if you're going to die, bring a friend. It all looks pretty thrilling, especially when they have to duck under that low-hanging branch at 2:16 to prevent getting clotheslined. Personally, I purposefully wouldn't have ducked just so I can finally find out if I'm really as stretchy as Mister Fantastic, or if that was just a dream.

Keep going for the video, but skip to 2:00 unless you came here to watch people hike and talk.

Thanks to Rob, who agrees they should have attached a jet engine to the back of their kayak for BONUS THRILLS.

I hope that was fun because that canoe bottom isn't going to take that much concrete abrasion too often. And, points for safety gear on the front guy - except for the primary risk of small twigs and branches to the face ready to take out your eyes.

I liked the way they attached two lines to the bars at the top while getting in, then being really suprised when cutting just one of them doesn't release them :P

Every time I see the GoPro slogan I think of the "an hero" meme (i.e. so and so is an hero meaning so and so committed suicide).

GoPro. Be An Hero!

My name is Rush. No BS.

It feels like those paddles are the most dangerous part of this whole thing - like one careless move, the paddle gets jammed, and that guy gets snapped / chopped in half.

Seriously...they would have been better served wielding machetes.
